Inquire Communication Information Object on Multiplatforms
The Inquire Communication Information Object (MQCMD_INQUIRE_COMM_INFO) command inquires about the attributes of existing IBM MQ communication information objects.
- Required parameters:
 - ComminfoName
 - Optional parameters:
 - ComminfoAttrs, IntegerFilterCommand, StringFilterCommand
 
Required parameters
- ComminfoName (MQCFST)
 - The name of the communication information definition about which information is to be returned
(parameter identifier: MQCA_COMM_INFO_NAME). 
The communication information name is always returned regardless of the attributes requested.
The maximum length of the string is MQ_COMM_INFO_NAME_LENGTH.
 
Optional parameters
- ComminfoAttrs (MQCFIL)
 - Comminfo attributes (parameter identifier: MQIACF_COMM_INFO_ATTRS). 
The attribute list might specify the following value on its own - default value if the parameter
is not specified:
- MQIACF_ALL
 - All attributes.
 
or a combination of the following:
- MQIA_CODED_CHAR_SET_ID
 - CCSID for transmitted messages.
 - MQIA_COMM_EVENT
 - Comminfo event control.
 - MQIA_MCAST_BRIDGE
 - Multicast bridging.
 - MQIA_MONITOR_INTERVAL
 - Frequency of update for monitoring information.
 - MQIACF_ENCODING
 - Encoding for transmitted messages.
 - MQIACH_MC_HB_INTERVAL
 - Multicast heartbeat interval.
 - MQIACH_MSG_HISTORY
 - Amount of message history being kept.
 - MQIACH_MULTICAST_PROPERTIES
 - Multicast properties control.
 - MQIACH_NEW_SUBSCRIBER_HISTORY
 - New subscriber history.
 - MQIACH_PORT
 - Port Number.
 - MQCA_ALTERATION_DATE
 - The date on which the information was last altered.
 - MQCA_ALTERATION_TIME
 - The time at which the information was last altered.
 - MQCA_COMM_INFO_DESC
 - Comminfo description.
 - MQCA_COMM_INFO_TYPE
 - Comminfo type
 - MQCACH_GROUP_ADDRESS
 - Group Address.
 
 
- IntegerFilterCommand (MQCFIF)
 - Integer filter command descriptor. The parameter identifier must be any integer type parameter
allowed in ComminfoAttrs except MQIACF_ALL.
 Use this parameter to restrict the output from the command by
specifying a filter condition. See MQCFIF - PCF integer filter parameter for information about using this
filter condition. 
If you specify an integer filter for ComminfoType (MQIA_COMM_INFO_TYPE), we cannot also specify the ComminfoType parameter.
If you specify an integer filter, we cannot also specify a string filter using the StringFilterCommand parameter.
 
- StringFilterCommand (MQCFSF)
 - String filter command descriptor. The parameter identifier must be any string type parameter
allowed in ComminfoAttrs except MQCA_COMM_INFO_NAME.
Use this parameter to restrict the output from the command by specifying a filter condition. See
MQCFSF - PCF string filter parameter for information about using this filter condition. 
If you specify a string filter, we cannot also specify an integer filter using the IntegerFilterCommand parameter.
